All workspaces except 1 disappeared after clicking "close" on Desktop Effects (all settings were previously selected and applied flawlessly)

[dickcheney]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

The workspaces disappeared after checking the Desktop Effects window and then clicking close. Now all the "cube" effects can not be enabled because enabling them will automatically remove all other workspaces. Adding new workspaces after applying the effects (with 1 workspace, since all others are removed) does not apply the effect to the new workspaces.

Hey you guys i got it!!!!! the same thing happened to me so i started to experiment and i was able to half fix it. it works and everything but if u open desktop effects after u do the following steps, u will have to repeat them. ok so first open desktop effects and uncheck everything. then click close. set the # of spaces to as many as u want and then press ok. open desktop effects again and enable workspace on cube first, this will probably remove ur spaces so then set the # of spaces to the # u want again. now check wobble windows, this should disable the workspace on cube so then uncheck it then recheck it. this should fix the problem, tell me if u need extra help.
